He’s not Jack Black in “the big year” he also did a movie about being a mortician in a small town or something. Not that good of a movie, but definitely not Jack Black

I put a little string of fake pearls on my daughter about every day, and they were mine and my sisters’ when I was a toddler, so they’re about 30. I don’t know how they’ve survived so many toddlers cause they’d break with any real pulling. She loves them though and is very careful with them. She also uses tiny baby sized silverware from my mom’s babyhood(early 70s) It’s cute and funny to watch her use miniature stuff that’s just her size

I think that’s the oldest thing other than furniture (we use my great grandfather’s bedroom suite)

Y’all are crazy. Very responsible. I drop my phone every single day. Often outside onto the concrete. I break my screen protectors all the time. I’ve only ever messed up an actual screen once (stupid like wrap around screen so the case was not sufficient). I buy extremely cheap cases and screen protectors, and they always work.

I’m clumsy, but also I guess thoughtless. I’m constantly bending over to pick up my kid and it just tumbles out of my pockets. Idk. The screen protectors last between one week and 6 months. Usually a couple of months, but then the cracks/chips are so little I just take ages to replace it, so I’m only buying one like twice a year. You can get 3 for under 10 bucks so it’s basically worth the cost to not have to be precious about your phone all the time.

A parent shouldn’t be letting their single digit aged child have unsupervised access to the Internet. Agreed that they shouldn’t be publicizing it, but this idea that parents should be letting their kids have secrets when they’re so little is one way dangerous adults take advantage of kids.

You don’t get to decide the destination of your teleportation

It’s hard for me to imagine AI taking over a majority of jobs even in 10 years. My boss at my last job had me print Excel files for him so he could look at the hard copies. And he was only like 38. I think people on lemmy overestimate how tech savvy people are. I worked in the construction industry and even office side, people were barely tech literate. No way will they be able to utilize AI when so much of their business is still on hard paper.

Woah now, maybe I like googling my mom’s office line every time she doesn’t answer her cell phone! I actually never even thought of saving it

I know it’s not exactly what you asked, but the magnolias are blooming a little early right now, and they smell amazing. Every day I put my face right into one for that sweet citrusy scent

Wow. I am in the minority here, but zipper first! Hold the button and button hole together in one hand, zip up, and then button! Always!

My kid’s breath. I know it won’t last forever. I thought it would go away once she’s wasn’t a newborn anymore, but now she’s about a year and a half old and every time I accidentally get a whiff I feel addicted to it

You should stay with your parents until you have a solid childcare situation. Childcare is nutso expensive, but also nerve-wracking to not know for sure if your kid is being treated well. It’s possible your mom may still be willing and happy to pitch in even if you’re out on your own, but right now if your kid is sick and has to stay home from school, I’m guessing your mom takes over and you don’t have to miss work. That’s crazy valuable.

My family is all on messenger, and so it’s either gotta be me or my husband using it or else we won’t know any of the family plans (or daily discussions which is my main source of socialization.) Same goes for my friend group. I’d be very lonely without it, so that ends up a lot more important than my moral objections to meta.

No one in the comments seems to point out: all of your needs and wants are being met, but the fact that she sought an external relationship indicates that her needs and wants are not being met.

If you’re ok with the cheating and want to keep her, you probably need to look into why she feels she isn’t getting what she needs at home (which as others have mentioned, is ok if you’re both open to an open marriage!)

I’m sorry she wasn’t open with you about her needs being met, and I’m sorry she went behind your back to meet them. I hope you’ll both be ok, man.

I don’t take a bath to get clean, I take a bath to relax. Showering at the end would undo the relaxed state
